Rumored to be a flagship release for the AR headset that’s also rumored to be announced next week. Things like these really show the huge competitive advantage of the M series chip from Apple. There’s no other production chip with the same performance vs power consumption which is so important for AR.
- senttoschool 3y agoIt depends. Yes, M Series leads in perf/watt, by far. But if they put an M2/3 in there, it won't be powerful enough. PS5 VR hooks into the PS5, which has a 10 tflops GPU. The VR device would need at least an M2/3 Pro SoC to be competitive.
- syntaxing 3y agoRumor has it that it’s double stacked M2
- CyberDildonics 3y agoI heard that it's triple stacked
- photonerd 3y agoThe M2 Max’s GPU is ~13 TFLOPS (bit more) Also that ignores that they could do a M2-based spin off die/config, with additional grunt. Call it M2 XR or something And remember: don’t discount the difference having the chip dedicated to the headset makes. The PS5 treats it as an addon, quite different characteristics.
- senttoschool 3y agoMy point is that if they put the base M SoC in there, it really isn't that powerful. They'd need to put at least an M2 Pro in there.
